19:45 hrs IST: Thanks for joining in. Hope you enjoyed our coverage.

19:40 hrs IST: And this is what Gambhir had to say: “We still have a long way to go, most boxes ticked but we can’t be complacent. Once you lose momentum it’s difficult to get back. But very professional performance today, to restrict them to 160 after the start they got. Because of the heat .... at one stage I was tempted to bat first but we have been chasing really well so stuck to that. Every player we pick, we pick with a lot of trust, and if you show trust they repay it. We can put some more effort in our fielding, save 10 or 15 runs, will be easier to chase it down.”

19:27 hrs IST: Zaheer Khan has a few things to say after the loss. “We had the platform, we could have defended 160, me pulling my hamstring didn’t help. That dropped catch didn’t help. Maybe we were 15 runs short. The timing of the drops is crucial, today’s was at a wrong time, someone like Uthappa, if we got him out it could have been different,” Zaheer said.

“Could have defended 160. We have to regroup, quickly. We need that spark, that winning momentum, someone to have that kind of day that changes things for us. So far it hasn’t happened but that does not mean it will not happen. I will be able to tell you better about my hamstring tomorrow, I didn’t want to take a chance by bowling again. Let’s see how it holds up in the morning.”
